Forums - Sales - Global HW/SW Up ! (10th March)

Updated.

Europe is up. (and with that Germany and France)



Around the Network

The 3DS and PS3 are fighting for that top place. I'm starting to see the PS3 get ahead of the 360 a little more and more as the weeks pass but we got some heavy hitter coming soon so I wanna see if the PS3 can maintain the lead for a bit longer.

As for Mass Effect 3, amazing sales on the 360 and some what lower on the PS3, but I think BioWare did good some good bringing this awesome franchise to the PS3. Also, ME3 sales in europe look fairly low. I wonder why.

So I'm assuming the PS2 still has a bit of a lead over the DS, anyone have an idea of which ends up winning? Could PS2 be produced longer than DS?



I predict another 55-60k week for Uncharted 3 :D

It's interesting seeing just how well the Vita is doing with "the best launch lineup of any device ever."


Well it's up against a Nintendo portable. No one ever expected it to outsell the 3DS.

A lot of Sony fans saying that The Vita sales are what they expected, does this mean that Sony fans were expecting terrible sales? The reason I bring this up is because my general impression from Sony fans was that the Vita was going to blow the 3DS away - when it didn't do that in Japan the story was that it was a more Western focused system and would therefore do much better in the west - when it didn't, the sales became "just as I expected" for the Sony fans. You guys flip flop more than an American politician =P

What I actually see is that you Sony fans were just plain wrong and are now changing lying about your opinion so that you don't have to face that reality.


I know I was. I never once expected the Vita to sell like hotcakes.
Didn't expect sales to be this bad though but it's not surprising.



Xbox 360 beast! Well. Maybe not at the moment..



Yay!!!

On the PSV defense, Sony is probably making more profit with the 113k units than Nintendo with the 3DS at 179k :P

Just noticed the PSP is outselling the DS... How long that been happening for?

This is the first week and it's only happening because Sony sells the PSP in more countries. Rest of the World is a stronger region for the PSP than USA and Europe (individually, not combined).

The better comparison would be PSP sales now vs DS sales a year ago to give a good idea on potential longevity (i.e. based on when they were replaced), and the DS was doing over 150k p/w back then....

I thought it was assumed that Sony is taking a loss on every system sold; that's why people say that Sony can't cut the price yet...



Vita needs Monster Hunter.
